Why is Quinn so underplayed?

Now, just a disclaimer -- I haven't even reached ranked yet -- so don't lash on me for saying something that is so pathetically stupid I don't even deserve to live anymore. However, being level 21, and playing for around 2 months now, I've gotten quite a good feel of the game; warding, ganking, champions and their passives/skills, etc. I've played champions such as Jayce, Fizz, Zed, Ziggs, Jinx, Riven, Nocturne, Vi, Caitlyn.. but the one champion that has really captured me is...

Quinn.

IMO, she's just a great all around pick, and can be played in any lane from what I've seen. Usually, Thresh/Quinn bot will just wreck anyone... her mobility (especially with Valor), attack speed, and all around damage can be very hard to counter if you're a melee champ fighting her. Ranged against Quinn can be a bit easier, but she's still pretty devestating, with the E/Q/R combo. Her W is amazing when chasing down in a teamfight in a jungle, providing vision, and Valor's movement speed is great for getting away and good in-combat if you built more tanky.

Still, I've maybe seen 2 Quinn's in my whole LoL experience. What's up? Why does no one play her, if she's so awesome? Is it different in ranked, or am I missing something? ;_;

C'mon, #QuinnArmy!

Do you guys see Quinns in your games? What are your opinions on her? Just curious.
Hey, erm, I'm new around here. =P

Hopefully I get ranked by S4! =)

Her ultimate is useless for everything else but chasing down enemies who are not dangerous and running away. It makes vulnerable adc a melee fighter. Also, her E gets her too close to the enemy.

If used close to the enemy, though, it dashes her away from the target. I don't really use vault unless I'm close enough to the point where I'll fly backwards to a safe distance, or they walk past the brush I'm in. + you can always use blinding assault right after vault and they are blinded, giving you time to back up.

What if it is someone like Malzahar who can just instantly burst you when you are blinded?

Vault is so unsafe gapcloser/CC/escape and you can't really rely on it

Quinn is also underplayed because she is extremely niche. She's actually a lot better outside of bot laner as a solo laner, and she can often function like an assassin. She's outclassed at doing this, but it's still better than trying to play her as the teams ADC.

Her ultimate is among the worst in the game, her escape(E) is fidgity unless you use your ultimate to run away, and she has no late game scaling. Her steroid is on her harrier strike and ultimate. Because her ultimate puts you in melee range it really can't be used as a steroid and her Harrier is random and can only occur like once every 8 seconds or something it's not really a steroid compared to what other AD's have in their kits. She's pretty good at laning and 1v1, but there are plenty of other AD's that are as well and just have better late game and actually useful kits.
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

W and E do no damage on their own and the W active is practically useless. R is okay in a 1v1 situation but even then other ultimates definitely outshine it. In teamfights, however, the ultimate is absolutely pointless

She's a very strong laner but that's pretty much it. Here is something that explains pretty much everything.

She's literally the worst ADC in the game right now because she's short ranged, doesn't scale well and most of her skills are worthless.
